There was a 2018 move by the IOC to have samples retested (Maybe timely - isn't there an 8 year embargo, or has that been wiped out now?). Yes, new techniques and newer drugs were tested. reuters.com I guess these are the latest to bubble up to the top.

I see Coleman has launched an appeal against his missed tests ban.

That assumes he realises this is all serious and if had in the first place and given that's what caused the issue the first place...

Quite possibly chunky but I’d love to see some of those guys and girls duking it out with fast times at the front of their respective fleets.

Normally the superfast talent is following the money at the WMMs elsewhere and so I’m delighted to see Valencia centre stage this weekend.

It's shoes plus the absence of any other races they could have run in this year.

With that many fast girls and guys in the race, assuming the weather is good is it possible that someone outperforms themselves through sheer competitiveness and a WR is delivered?
